Mikroplastik – Globalne Zagrożenie W Mikroskali
Summary
This Polish-language overview describes the global threat posed by micro- and nanoplastics, explaining how these particles accumulate in ecosystems, their biological effects on organisms from microbes to humans, and the urgency of developing effective regulatory and remediation responses.
Microplastics, like nanoplastics, despite their small size, pose a serious threat on a global scale due to their accumulation in increasing quantities in the environment. Due to the urgent need to take action, this topic has been growing in popularity in recent years and is increasingly being taken up by scientists. This article briefly presents the sources of microplastics, the potential threats to plants, animals and humans posed by microplastics, as well as the directions and goals of current scientific research undertaken by Polish scientists as part of projects financed by the National Science Centre.

Micro and nanoplastics pollution: A review on global concern and its impacts on ecosystems
This review summarizes the current understanding of micro and nanoplastic pollution globally, covering their sources, movement through ecosystems, and risks to both environmental and human health. The evidence shows that these tiny particles alter soil and sediment properties, disrupt nutrient cycles, and pose potential climate hazards. The authors emphasize that more research is needed on how microplastics move through food chains and affect human health, particularly through contaminated food and water.
